I can’t go further back in history because before 03/12, I had all sections stuffed with “Lorem Ipsup” pseudo-text to simulate the layout.
Since I only have one graph in my thesis, here’s another one: blue is the total number of pages, pink are the pages written per day, and yellow is the average number of pages written per day.
